mommas of chunky monkeys (no pics, clothing ?)

So... my little girl is chunky, extremely cute but chunky! My DS has always been itty bitty. I was able to put him in jeans when he turned 6 months old, if not earlier. I am at a loss with my daughter.

HOWEVER... DD is wearing 12 month clothes, unfortunately, I can not get jeans to go over her theighs! With the colder approaching, I want some type of warm cothing on her legs other than leggings and sweat pants. I had bought 18 months jeans to see if they would go over her theighs, and they do but obviously they are way too long.

I was thinking hem them too! There is actually a double sided tape you can buy for heming. All you have to do is cut the jeans a little longer than you want them, take the tape and tac them down (hem) and then iron the tape to make it stay. It's pretty easy to do and I have to do this with my DD who is 9.

Can you get them hemmed? I know I have done that a few times with some pants for DD (she's not chunky, just some of them are weird sizes), and it's pretty easy to do yourself, or pretty cheap to have done.

I found some really large waisted pants at walmart in their baby section. Seriously, the 6-9 month size was about 3 sizes too big in the waist for my DD.

My dd is exactly the same way. I am thinking shell be in a lot of one pieces (don't like the tight wastelands either) though all the girl pants are so cute she doesn't fit we'll into things that are structured right now. Even the 18 mo size stuff isn't that generous!

Our toddler was a chunk... I would buy pants a size up and just fold up the hem to make a cuff. When she was a baby a lot of baby clothes were made to have cuffs so I don't think anyone even knew it wasn't the way they came.
